i agree jim lehrer did not enforce any time limits. why do two intelligent people need a moderator like that? they should follow their own rules. host: just how the candidates out there and let them go? caller: why not? host: what do you do? caller: i am a retired teacher. host: what did you think of the discussion on public education? caller: public education it needs a good dose of reality. all these people are so for choice except where counts, the education of your child. i don't believe public education is in general good for the country. i think every educator has to follow certain guidelines. i don't think necessarily that public schools of the way to go, especially with the strong teachers' unions. host: did you teach in a public or private school? caller: very few public schools have teacher unions. host: that was the treasure in california. she mentioned foreign policy it was her big issue. this debate last night was centered on domestic policy. that is why foreign policy did not play a role. here are the other debates coming

host: jim is on the republican line from corpus christi, texas. caller: one of your guests made the remark that in ohio, being a purple state, they go republican or democrat. they don't have a lot of passion for politics -- politicians to get the job done. i don't think we should wait forever for a difference to be made. another comment i wanted to make, i am a big believer in the best man will win. that this not just apply to candidates running for reelection. the best companies will survive. i think bailing out these things, intervening, it's probably not a good idea. host: thanks for the call from texas. guest: in terms of the impatience of ohio voters, i think he's right. ohio has been hit disproportionately hard during the most recent recession. we are 48th in jobless. only california and new york had more job losses, and michigan as well. we have been hit disproportionately hard. as a result, the citizens of this state of ohio don't have a great deal of patience. i think the fact that we are continuing to see this slow recovery is something

host: what do you think lot was made of the moderator from the first debate, jim lehrer. how he moderated the debate? the commission came out with a statement days after said he did what he asked him to do. these were the ground rules and he did that. guest: i personally thought lehrer did a very good job. the complaints about past debates was they were too structured. it was basically a joint press conference. i think you had a real interaction the other night. they went back and forth. if the candidates want to talk to each other and there's some artificial deadline, i like to hear the candidates talk to each other. i i thought lehrer did the right thing. the more candidate interaction, the better it is for the american public. so much what we hear today, 30 second commercials, we're sick of those, this is the one opportunity for the american people to see the candidates somewhat unscripted talking to morning. host: the "new york times" is talking about the networks liking the split screen and tried in the past tried to negotiate and networks take that reaction shot. gu
